National Democrats are putting their money where their mouths are in support of City Councilman Mike McMahon's congressional campaign.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which funds House races across the country, has announced that it has added McMahon (D-North Shore) to its key "Red to Blue" list of top-priority races.

Being on the list gives candidates access to the national party's broad donor base; Democrats who were in the Red to Blue program in 2006 got an average fund-raising boost of $404,000 to their campaigns.
